I don't have a fixed/fixed hub that's something I might to change... but initially i'll probably just have use my street gear (46/15, 80.7") for warm up and switch the ring to a larger one after warm-up and carry around a separate chain to accommodate the bigger ring. Plus it may seem backwards but I absolutely hate the process of pulling cogs for some reason and would actually much rather pop the chain open with the masterlink, change a ring and put on the other chain than change a cog. Call me crazy but i'm weird like that. Maybe it was because my first fixed gear bike had a misaligned ****ty frame that made messing with the rear wheel in any way (which would obviously need to be done to change a cog) an absolutely JOYFUL experience... (sarcasm) and I haven't been able to shake that feeling of annoyance whenever I have to mess with my back wheel (other than just adjusting chain tension).
